you guys keep coming up with new names to explain the effects and natural progression of capitalism. its just regular ol capitalism as its always been.
It's the legacy that stinky piece of shit Steve Jobs left behind. That, skirting foreign labor laws, treating your own child like shit and stabbing your friends in the back.
Agreed. But other companies like Samsung and Google that dunked on Apple for their shitty practices, then completely adopt them a few generations later are fucking pathetic.
I bought a brother printer model J1010DW because it's brother, right? Also it was the cheapest brother printer in stock locally around the time I was sick & tired of detouring to the print shop.
The color cartridges still have tons of ink swashing in them, but the printer won't even print in b&w because it detects the other cartridges as empty. So I try the tape-over-the-ink-window method, and my printer says, HMM, I GUESS THERE'S INK NOW, BUT THESE MUST NOT BE BROTHER PRINTER CARTRIDGES, HURR DURR, and makes itself an overweight scanner.
I have a canon printer that I buy from Walmart (yes, I said buy, not bought). Every time the ink runs out, I'd go buy a whole printer. Printer is $27 and the ink is $35. I don't really print much, so whatever little print they give with the new printer lasts me for a long time. I'm thinking of just buying a laser one and call it a day since it never dries and it prints up 1500 papers per cartridge.
